Expertise

A disciplined approach
to marketing execution.

I don't deliver campaigns in isolation. I build the infrastructure underneath them — the automation architecture, data flows and funnel logic — so marketing performs consistently across every touchpoint and every quarter.

01

Marketing Automation & CRM Integration

Marketo and Salesforce systems built to work in concert. Lead scoring, routing, data integrity and automated sequences — designed to scale without manual intervention.

  • Adobe Marketo Engage
  • Salesforce CRM integration
  • Custom HTML/CSS email builds
  • Lead scoring & automated routing
02

Performance Funnels & Paid Media

Funnels designed to qualify and convert, not just generate volume. Every touchpoint is mapped to funnel stage, rigorously A/B tested, and optimised toward outcomes that matter.

  • Multi-tier lead qualification logic
  • LinkedIn Ads & Meta integration
  • A/B testing at every stage
  • Real-time performance monitoring
03

Creative Execution & Brand Integrity

200+ high-quality assets across regulated industries. I manage agencies, lead internal teams, and maintain brand consistency through every campaign and every compliance requirement.

  • Hand-coded email templates
  • Thought leadership content
  • 360° integrated campaigns
  • Agency & team leadership
Sectors

Rigorous sectors require
considered expertise.

Regulated, complex B2B environments demand a marketer who understands that precision matters — in messaging, in data, and in execution.

01
HR Advisory & Professional Services

At Peninsula Australia — Australia's largest HR advisory firm — I built lead funnels, client onboarding sequences and referral programs that scaled across a national sales organisation. Full Marketo-Salesforce integration, clean data, no manual entry.

02
Finance & Asset Management

At Lazard Asset Management, I navigated strict compliance requirements while driving a 35% engagement increase and 1,200+ qualified leads annually. Delivered 50+ financial whitepapers, outlooks and institutional client materials — all built to the standard the sector demands.

03
Medical Technology & Healthcare

200+ promotional assets per year at Becton Dickinson. Product launches, scientific conferences, 10+ major tradeshows. Used Salesforce and marketing automation to drive measurable improvements in lead generation within a technically demanding, heavily regulated environment.

The Challenge

High-volume paid and social leads were entering CRM unqualified — creating noise for the sales team and diluting conversion rates.

The Approach

Multi-tier filtering logic in Marketo. Custom Salesforce fields. Automated scoring and routing based on engagement signals and firmographic data — qualifying leads before any human involvement.

Outcomes
  • 20,000 new leads generated via social media funnel
  • 20% improvement in sales conversion rates
  • 15% increase in qualified lead flow
  • Manual data entry eliminated across systems
Client onboarding — Peninsula Australia
Peninsula Australia

Client Onboarding Automation: Consistent Experience at Scale

The Challenge

New clients received inconsistent welcome communications, resulting in low engagement with additional services and an over-reliance on manual campaign management.

Outcomes
  • 850 clients through automated onboarding programs
  • 15% lift in engagement across onboarding sequence
  • Standardised client experience delivered at scale
  • Foundation established for retargeting and upsell programs
Institutional marketing — Lazard Asset Management
Lazard Asset Management

Institutional Campaign: 35% Engagement Growth in a Regulated Market

The Challenge

Outcomes
  • 35% increase in campaign engagement
  • 1,200+ qualified leads generated annually
